Long Glover Poems

That morning, I thought I was dreaming
I heard my Dad say it, but I thought my ears were playing tricks on me
I didn't expect for this to happen to you
Well, at least not this soon

The Big Race

I qualified for the big race in May; my odds to win were long,
They knew I couldn’t win, but I had to run strong.
By lap fifty, I’ve moved up to position ten,
It’s a...

Daybreak on the Farm

The Rhode Island Red rooster crows from the fence near by,
The day is breaking in the far eastern sky.
His cock-a-doodle-doo is meant to wake up the farm,
He doesn’t use much grace and...

As Winter Turns To Spring

The leaves were falling from the trees,
Twisting and turning in the breeze.
The autumn spell throughout the land,
Was giving winter a helping hand.

The squirrel was hiding food with care,
For there was the...

You made it possible for us to pull through

My mom showed us how to have faith in You
By surrendering her problems and leaving it all to You

After the Summer

After the summer, when school begins anew,
It’s a mystery how teachers do all that they do.
There is teaching, testing, and grading to be done,
It’s no surprise at spring break to the beaches they...

There was a ballplayer named "Ron",
I would always run home to watch him on television.

He batted fourth and played the third base spot,
That's the corner they always called "Hot".

As a power hitter and great fielder...

I Was There

I was in the Twin Towers,
On that September Day.
I steadied this mans hand,
As he called his wife to say.

“I won’t be coming home tonight,
Now honey please don’t cry.
I’m safe in the hands of...

 “The worst is feeling worthless.” Quote: Donald Glover 

I tip the scales. 
Life curtails.
In luminous light
To suffer delight.
Yielding bend.
New age trend.

Softly spoken. 
Appearing broken.
Never cherished.
Hopes perished.
Always alone.
Hearts of stone. 
Meandering.
Never pandering.
Solace...

He took the disciples aside, told them what was headed His way.

I heard...

A Soldier’s Prayer

I’m hearing the whispers in the night,
I know what I hear is just not right.
The whispers continue on and on,
Then all of a sudden they are gone.

The battle rages on the other hill,

Gone Fishing

I know of nothing that can happen badly,
When a man goes fishing with a wee laddie.
The poles they carry along with the bait,
Says, ‘Gone fishing early and staying late.’

When a man goes fishing with...

That September Day

The terrorists sneaked into our country that September morn,
This nasty, dirty, cowardly act will always be scorned.
The act they carried out was to murder our friends,
Our nation’s mourning still transcends.

A New Football Season


Fall football season has finally come upon us,
It’s time for wives across the nation to raise a fuss.
This usually happens once each year,
From the beginning of the season, ‘til the last cheer.

I, a thief, was nailed to the cross beside this man,
He was known as the Jesus throughout the land.
He committed no crime to deserve this pain,
Yet this young carpenter was brutally slain.

Ava Elise

She came to us in the middle of the night,
I noticed the moonless sky had turned very bright.
Don’t ask why or ask me to explain,
I only know before, there was darkness and rain.

No matter how long you did roam.
There’s no way things will be the same,
Having been gone so long, you must take the blame.

God Weeps

Today God weeps for the man He created,
Giving man his free will turned out ill-fated.
In the Garden, He made it blissful with peace,
With Satan at hand this all had to cease.

God wept for man...
